Botted at RBESG 07. Hazy golden. Sweet and yeasty with bacony smoke, leather and a drying green apple finish. Pretty decent.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival, Oxfordshire, July 7th and 8th 2006. Good appley aroma and a bit earthy as well, pours a paler golden colour than the Breakwell Seedling that was also tried but again tasted extremely good. Lovely and juicy with bags of appley flavour not quite the depth of flavour offered by the Breakwell Seedling but very, very good.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival July 7th, 8th 2006. Beautiful golden colour with a great clarity to it, superbly intense and aromatic rush of apples leads to a simply stunning tasting cider. You could easily convert me to drinking ciders much more regularly if they were all as good as this, yes it was a bit sweet but your mouth was just full of some great fresh appley flavours loved it.

Picked a case up up from Dunkertons Cider mill on one of my regular forays to Herefordshire (retrospectively added from diary notes) Golden colour, oaky aroma and a bit musty wonderful crisp appley bite. Found this to be on the drier side of medium dry with barely any sweetness but a most refreshing cider all the same.

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Gold/green colour. Rubbery minerallly cider aroma. Almost a bit of peaches and cream too. Really drinkable, light, agile and fruity. I found it very easy to down even at 7%

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Well what a strange day when the best thing that I drink is in fact a cider. What has happened to me? Hazy gold/green colour with disppearing white head. Apple juice aroma with a bit of rubber. Very drinkable. Very dry on end. Apples throughout are good. Bit of herb or apple blossom on aroma and finish. Not much puckering of gums but tongue is left dry as a bone. I liked it.

Bottle from Waitrose. Hey a bottled Perry. I was surprised. I admit that I am somewhat of a fan of this style of alcoholic refreshment. Greeny gold colour with disappearing white head. Not intense pear aroma. Bit of rubber in mouth with nice solid pear flesh. Finish has some dryness, but mostly fruit. Very clean. Fruit gets better as it goes on. No real complexity, but nicely subtle.
